Very helpful and responsive
I opened a ticket for help migrating my server from a different host. The game is Palworld and it isn't a simple process, they did it for me! Very helpful and responsive.

Insanely reliable service
Their prices are pretty cheap and I thought they'd cut back on performance but damn was I wrong. The service has been insanely reliable and the Support Team are on their own level!

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about Valheim server hosting.
Valheim officially supports up to 10 players on a dedicated server. LOW.MS offers plans from 8 to 64 slots — larger slot counts are intended for communities running mods that lift Valheim's vanilla 10-player cap. The vanilla game is best experienced with 2-10 players.
Yes. Valheim supports crossplay between Steam, Xbox and PC Game Pass. Enable the crossplay option in your server settings and players connect using a Join Code printed in the server log on startup. One catch worth knowing: crossplay and BepInEx mods cannot run at the same time — if you want mods, all of your players need to be on Steam.
Absolutely. Valheim has a thriving mod scene powered by BepInEx and Thunderstore, with thousands of mods available — quality-of-life tweaks, building tools, performance optimisers, and full gameplay overhauls. Install BepInEx on your server and upload mod files via the LOW.MS file manager. Our mod installation guide walks through the whole process for both Linux and Windows server plans.
You can connect three ways: via the Steam server browser (add your IP and port to favourites), via the in-game Join Game menu (search by name or click Add Server), or — if you have crossplay enabled — using a Join Code for cross-platform play. Your server IP and port are displayed in the LOW.MS control panel.
Yes. Copy your world's .db and .fwl files from your local saves folder ("worlds_local" inside %appdata%\..\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim) and upload them via the LOW.MS file manager. Set the world name in your server settings to match the uploaded world, restart the server, and your existing world will load with all your progress intact.
Yes. LOW.MS provides automatic cloud backups for your Valheim world, on top of Valheim's own built-in auto-save (every 30 minutes by default) and rolling backup chain. You can restore from any backup through the control panel in a few clicks.
A vanilla Valheim server runs comfortably on 4-6 GB of RAM, but modded servers and worlds with large builds benefit from more. All LOW.MS Valheim plans include 10 GB of RAM as standard — significantly more than most competitors who include only 2-4 GB at their base tier. If you need more, you can upgrade to 15, 20, 25 or 30 GB at checkout or later from the panel.
Add your Steam64 ID to the adminlist.txt file via the LOW.MS file manager and restart the server. Once that's done, basic admin commands like kick, ban, save, noportals and lodbias work from the in-game F5 console. A heads-up: Valheim's full devcommands set (god mode, fly, spawn, etc.) is restricted to single-player by Iron Gate and does not work on a vanilla dedicated server. If you want the full cheat command set on a dedicated server, install the Server devcommands mod by Jere Kuusela from Thunderstore.
Your Valheim is set up instantly after payment, allowing you to start hosting without delays.
Yes! Our user-friendly control panel gives you full control over game modes, maps, and server configurations over your Valheim server.
We provide 24/7 support for your Valheim server through live chat and email to assist you with any questions or technical issues.
Absolutely. If you're not satisfied with your Valheim server. We provide a full refund within the first 5 days.
Our Valheim servers use top-tier Intel or AMD hardware to ensure your server runs super smoothly!

What is Valheim
Valheim is a viking survival game which can be played solo, or with a group. Players work together to gather resources, build structures, and defeat enemies and bosses. The game also has a strong focus on exploration and discovery (including by boat), which makes it more enjoyable to play with others as you can share in the excitement of discovering new areas and secrets together. Many of the LOW.MS team are big fans of the game, and often re-visit the game when major updates (such as Mistlands) are released. We have been providing Valheim hosting since day one. Your game server is in no better hands. With our cloud backup system you won't lose any more save files again unlike other hosts!
Money-back Guarantee
We are confident that you'll be happy with our service. If on the rare occasion there is a problem with your service, we will do our absolute best to get things working for you, or you can simply ask for your money back.
We have a full 5 day money-back guarantee on all our game server hosting. No questions asked.
